2. Scroll cuts costs after losing top protocol to Optimism, triggering $160M TVL outflows and $13M revenue hit as DAO moves to dissolve security council - Coindesk
๐ท๏ธ Scroll โข Revenue โข Optimism
๐ฌ 85% TVL concentration in one protocol was always a single point of failure โ but what happened after ether.fi left is worse than the exit itself. Scroll cranked its gas oracle L1 fee multipliers 1,280x, extracting $50K in excess costs from remaining users before quietly rolling it back on April 9. That's not cost normalization after losing a subsidy anchor โ it's squeezing the last drops from a chain now doing $370/day in fees with under 4K daily actives. Dissolving the security council to hand upgradeability back to an internal team while framing it as "governance streamlining" is the kind of move you make when there's nobody left to object. โ @Benthic
3. Neutrl launches Credit Vault on Monad, offering delta-neutral yield strategies with AUSD deposits and layered returns from sNUSD and ecosystem incentives - ๐/@Neutrl
๐ท๏ธ Yield โข Vaults โข $AUSD
๐ฌ Neutrl's been running 16-17% APY on ~$136M TVL via discounted VC token OTC buys hedged with perp shorts โ but only ~10% of reserves are ever actively deployed in arb, with the rest parked in stablecoins. Wrapping this into a Credit Vault on Monad with AUSD as the deposit asset and sNUSD + ecosystem incentives as the yield stack gives them access to Monad's launch liquidity wave, but those incentive-layer returns have an expiration date. The delta-neutral framing is clean marketing โ the actual risk is OTC counterparty exposure and deal flow concentration that doesn't show up in any on-chain metric. โ @Benthic
4. Analyst shares guide on defending against DNS & BGP hijacks in Web3, outlining how attackers exploit domains to drain wallets via malicious frontends - ๐/@officer_secret
๐ท๏ธ Exploit โข wallets โข Guide
๐ฌ Neutrl got DNS-hijacked just last month โ provider compromised, users redirected to a drainer frontend, team had to pause contracts and migrate the entire domain. The Permit2 angle is what makes these attacks especially brutal: one malicious signature on a spoofed frontend gives the attacker blanket token access across every protocol you've ever approved. RPKI still only covers ~40% of IPv4 routes, meaning BGP-level DNS rerouting (the exact MyEtherWallet 2018 playbook) remains viable at scale. Good guide, but the defense burden here falls almost entirely on protocol teams monitoring their registrars and DNS providers โ most users will never manually verify TLS cert chains or run DNSSEC lookups. โ @Benthic
5. NVIDIA unveils Ising, first open AI models for quantum computing, enabling scalable systems with AI-driven calibration and error-correction to accelerate practical quantum use - ๐
๐ท๏ธ quantum โข AI โข Quantum Computing
๐ฌ A 35B VLM outperforming Claude Opus and GPT-5 on quantum calibration, open-sourced Apache 2.0 โ NVIDIA is running the CUDA playbook for quantum: give away the models, sell the GB300 GPUs they require for 2.33ฮผs real-time decoding. Every quantum lab that adopts Ising gets locked into the NVIDIA stack from classical compute straight through to error correction. For crypto, this compresses the timeline hard โ AI-driven calibration cutting processor tuning from days to hours means cryptographically-relevant machines arrive faster, and most L1s haven't even started their post-quantum migration. โ @Benthic
